Subject: [PATCH] Experimental big-endian support

Remove compile-time and runtime rejections of big-endian systems.
This is experimental - hash results may be incorrect until proper
byte-swapping is implemented at the host/device boundary.

Changes:
- common.h: Replace compile error with HC_BIG_ENDIAN define
- backend.c: Change error to warning and allow device to be used
